The Yankees eventually will have Derek Jeter’s replacement ready for spring training, and it won’t be Brendan Ryan.

And there were indications Tuesday it might not be the Rangers’ Elvis Andrus or the White Sox’s Alexei Ramirez via trades.

Of course, this being mid-November, a lot can change between now and Opening Day.

Yet, according to a person with knowledge of the White Sox’s plans, they don’t believe a deal with the Yankees for the 33-year-old Ramirez is any further along than it was at July’s trading deadline, when the Yankees acquired Stephen Drew from the Red Sox.

The Dodgers are reportedly very interested in acquiring Ramirez because Hanley Ramirez is exploring free agency. Alexei Ramirez, who is a career .277 hitter, batted .273 with 15 homers and 74 RBIs in 158 games last season. He will make $10 million this coming season and the White Sox hold a $10 million club option on him for 2016 with a $1 million buyout.

As for the 26-year-old Andrus, who starts the first season of an eight-year deal worth $118 million this coming April, the Rangers will listen but aren’t in a rush to deal him. Things change if the Rangers go into a salary-dump mode, but they don’t appear to be there at this point.

And because they need pitching and catching — perhaps outfield help if they can move Shin-Soo Choo — there is a problem matching with the Yankees.

The Yankees aren’t in position to deal arms because they don’t know what they have in CC Sabathia or Masahiro Tanaka, Ivan Nova is coming back from Tommy John surgery and Brandon McCarthy, whom they want back, is a free agent.

The Rangers aren’t enamored of Yankees catching prospect Gary Sanchez, and with Francisco Cervelli dealt to the Pirates, the Yankees plan on using John Ryan Murphy as Brian McCann’s backup, not for trade bait.
